Chapter 538 Revenge of the Three Musketeers

"What's wrong? Is this a blackout or a short circuit?"

Plunged into darkness, everyone was nervous and stood motionless.

Although the electricity was out, the other electric appliances, such as the foam machine, were still running. Suddenly, everyone noticed that there was a neon glow on Jane's body.

"Who is that? What's with the glow on her?"

All eyes were on the person who was glowing softly. Jane looked around and saw no one with the glow, so she turned her focus to herself. She was shocked to replace that she was emanating a soft glow. Next, she had a bad feeling, as though something had landed on her head.

She reached out to touch her head, only to confirm her fears.

"Ah!"

The next second, some animals appeared one after another and started to knock blindly against her. She grabbed one of the living things for a better look. Its eyes were gleaming, and it looked like a... bat! Her realization led her to let out an even more horrifying scream.

Bats! She was indeed attacked by bats!

When everyone's pupils adjusted to the darkness, under the light of the moon and the stars, they could vaguely make out the shape of the bats. It was then they saw a swarm of bats circling Jane! No one had the courage to go up and save her.

Rolling on the ground, she called out for help, "Help me! Little critters! Get lost! Someone help me! Please help!"

Pierre pulled Selena into his arms to shield her. Likewise, she hugged Jameson tightly to protect him. But what about the other two kids?

She anxiously searched for the two children among the crowds, worried that they would be crushed by the stampede.

"Don't worry! They are doing fine!"

Hearing that, she took a closer look and noticed a glow in a corner. It was the light from a laptop screen, and two little heads were bobbing behind the screen.

She instantly understood what they were up to.

The show was nowhere near its end. Suddenly, the foam machine started sputtering out some unknown substance that stank to high heaven. Everyone at the scene quickly pinched their nose and cursed at the revolting odor.

"What is that? It smells so awful! It's like a clogged toilet!"

"No, it is worse than a clogged toilet! I'm going to puke!"

"Quick, let's leave! It smells like a cesspool here!"

Jason was quick to react. He swiftly sent his men to fix the electric circuit, and the lights turned on again in no time. Then, he coordinated the crowds to leave the scene.

Jane was still rolling on the ground, but the servants dared not go up to help her because they were scared of getting hurt by the bats. After all, bats could be venomous.

At the same time, Joaquin and Juniper returned to Pierre and Selena.

"Alright. The show is over. Let's go home now." The couple led the three children out of the area.

Right when they were about to enter the car, Jane was freed by some onlookers and ran after the family of five.

"Stand right there! You thieves! Give me back the ancient scrolls!"

Jane looked extremely flustered and disheveled. Her hair was a mess, and her outfit was filthy, with some strands of grass stuck onto it. Not only that, the putrid smell on her caused everyone to instinctively stay away from her.

"Selena Yard! Stand there! Those are my ancient scrolls! Give them back to me!" Jane did not care about courtesy anymore. Those were the ancient scrolls in her father's collection, and she would not allow Selena to get away with it.

If it weren't for the sake of causing trouble to Selena, she would not have dared to take out her father's precious scrolls. Worse, she did not tell her father before taking out the scrolls. To him, those scrolls were valuable antiques.

She had thought that her plan was perfect, but things spiraled out of her control.

She lifted the hem of her dress with one hand and chased after Selena.

Selena stopped in her tracks. Just as Jane was about to open her mouth, Selena turned around to give her a slap.

Jane's eyes widened in disbelief. She glared at the audacious Selena. How dare she hit me? No one in the world ever lays a finger on me!
